Shoepick was one of the sweetest nicest people that I've ever known it didn't matter how bad he was feeling he would take the time to ask me how I'm doing and where is Gary I love talking with him because I knew he was going to make me laugh and I'm glad I was able to sit with him the few times that I did he's truly going to be missed it hurts my heart knowing that he's not across the street anymore. Rest in Peace

Paw shoe, i miss you so much already, it's unbelievable. I miss walking inside after school and you asking me how my day was and making it 100x better than it already was. It just won't be the same without you here. You made all of us laugh and smile all the time. I keep wishing this was a dream but it's not. Nothing will be the same anymore, i think about you 24/7, all day at school and even more when i get home. We will be together sooner or later, but until then rest in peace ! I love you so much !!
